Questions  

Statement 1: The energy of charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field does not change.

Statement 2: Work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero.

a
Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
b
Statement 1 is correct statement 2 is incorrect
c
Statement 1 is incorrect statement 2 is correct
d
Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The force on a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field always acts in direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charge. As work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero, W=FS  cos  θ, so the energy of the charged particle does not change.
